A prisoner ounce jisappeated and no trace of him could be found. The officers searched for a week without avail. Finally, after all efforts had been given up, the keeper of the tiilor shop one day instruoted his men to remove the pieces of cloth, of which there was a great quantity, from beneath the ontting-bench, The bench was entirely closed, with the ex. ~ ception of a small aperture into which the odds and ends were thrown, and while the pieces were being taken out the missing convict was unearthed. The man had been waiting for an op- unity to get outside the walls, bat © waited one day too many it proved. He had been fed regularly by other oonviets, who brought him food in their pockets from the mess-room. Three or four years ago, when the prison was crowdad with 1,500 conviots, f great many slept in a large room in the top of the main balding, known as the “old hospital.” These mon imag- ined that liberty was within their reach, and they made an attempt to effect “Has any novelty been in- { troduced that has caused this popu. {larity 7” “*No new figures have been { broaght out, but the old colored man {and the Irishman are still the most popular, and an old man or an old woman come next.

The Troy opera house is owned by a magician who made all his money out of nino tricks, The tricks now are mostly mechanical, as the finer sleight of hand tricks whioh demand the greatest skill are not shown The prices are low in comparison to what thay have been, The time has been when as much as 8500 would be charged to teach the Indian box trick, and vow the price is only 85. Mechanioal tricks are generally variations of » fow pieces of mechanism. The professor showed a small wood an box, of a size to hold in the hand, To all appearance it was an ordinary box, closing with a lock. One way in which it is often nsed is for the magi. cian to borrow a watch, have one per son put the wateh in the box and look it, takiny the key. The magician hands it to another person to hold. “Do yon hear the wateh ticking ¥' the magician will ask, and the person hold- ing the box will hear it distinotly by putting his ear to the lid.

Five years 2g0 & conviet employed in the toolshop, which is no longer operated, made a bold venture. The tools were packed in boxes some three and a half feet long, two feet wide and twenty inches "de8p:. The man attached cleats and & button to one of the boards comprising the cover in such a way that he could shut himself in. To ocneeal the deception he. draye heads of nails into the board so that leeked ay it it was nailed down. The contractors had another shop in what is known as ** Hackney,” in the northwestern part of the eity, whither all tools were taken before being shipped. The convict en- soonced himself in his narrow quarters, and the box was loaded on a wagon with a number of others. He waited until be thought the prison had been aft behind, and then raised the cover to survey his surroundings. He was observed by the driver, a young man, who gave a frightened yell and jumped from the wagon. A guard bappened to be in a grocery store in front of which the convict made his wppearance, and be canght a glimpse of the head in the box. The escaping prisoner recognized him, and, leaping from the wagon, ran #3 fast as Lis legs would carry him. The guard followed, and, as the fugi- tive wonll not stop in response to re- peated commands, fired a ball into his ieg, which put an end to the chase, Citizens are employed in the prison shops in large numbers, and they pass in and out withuut any questions being asked. A convict once embraced the opportanity that this practice affords. He secured a pair of overalls and a blouse, and shouldering a vise walked past the gnards. When he reached the streel he threw down the vise and made for the country. Slipping out of the ranks is one of the practices of convicts #5 the preliminary step to an escape. One cold winter morning, while it was still dark, two convicts left their places in line. They had previously obtained & long piece of wire, and attaching a hook to one end they tore np their bed- clothing and wound it tightly about it, This made a stiff rope; and reaching it up they caught the hook on the bars of the window in the story sbove. They climbed up from window to win- dow until they reached the roof, from which they expected to descend to a low side wall and drop to the ground. Their absence had been discoy- ered, however, and just as they were descending they were detected by the officers who were looking for them. The escape of “By” Day was well planned. He feigned sickness, and was left in bis coli; “When the keeper the cell-door at night Day did not respond. Instead of compelling the man to answer, as be should have done, ke looked through the grated door and saw a form lying in bed with a newspaper over the head.

He had released himself from his cell with a faise key, and, getting upon the roof, had gone down to the ground, He was recaptured. tit by prisoners in sttempting or accom- plishicg escape had been raved a museum might be established. How the convicts obtain these tcols isa ques- tien easily answered. They muke them. Instruments weighing as much as fifty pounds have been made under the vory - eyes of the officers, and they were none the wiser for it. If a man is employed abent iron-working machinery, he will flud time to manufacture jacks, jim- mies, levers, bars, keys, and other im. plementa. Very often these tools sre the finest specimens of workmanship, d any artisan might be proud to own ign 8s his handiwork. Complete burglars’ kits have been manufactured in the prison and smaggled outside to do service in * cracking” banks.

Such a box sells for 812. The Indian box trick, which favorite, is just as simple. In this a big rough box is brought on the stage, and several gentlemen are invited to examine it. They find an empty box, as roughly made as a packing case. The nails seem to run through the cor ners, the ends elinched into the wood The magicians assistant is put in a bag. The end is tied up and sealed. The box is tied ronnd sad rognd with rope, as well ssdovked, The bagged-up man is laid on the tied-uy box, and a screen is drawn in front for a short time. When the screen is drawn back the empty bag is seen with unbroken seal lying on the box, which, when its cords are untied and the loek 18 opened, is found to contain the The only difficulty is the b There must Le two bags, ons within ianother. The junetion of their | mouths is concealed by the magician, { who with great show of zeal ties the mouths with his handkerchief at tnat portion, and then invites the committe to tie the protruding ends of a bag which is really alongside of his assist ant inside another bag confined simply br the handkerchief, The nails of the box are shams at one end, being simply heads and poicts which do not meet, The end swings in like a trap door when properly manipulated, the assistant lays the sealed-up bag on top of the box, creeps in d, easily pushing i the rope, and then returns its place. Thus the lid oi which the committee expended exertions remains undisturbed. Spiritual tricks are taking well this SEASON. They are wo Ad by means of mechanical padlocks, and require very little skill. They seem to be lLke ordinary padlocks, but in some a tonch on a partiealar rivet throws them open, and others have clockwork in such a manner that they open in a fixed time. Bound by such padlocks, it is easy for sayjone to throw spirit hands or faces through the hole of a cabinet as soon as its doors are elosed, and be found sitting in the same position as securely bound when the doors are opened. is a Vig t nat, ag part. the en i tha A Novel Torpedo Boat, A successful trial of Captain Eries- son's torpedo boat Destroyer took place at the Brooklyn navy yard racently. The strong tide off the ordnance dock compelled a change of plan, and the target, a square frame covered with wire netting, was suceessfully placed in the cove. The Destroyer was made fast to the old Constitniion. The target was submerged 300 yardsaway. Every- thing being in readiness, Mr. [Larrce, the representative ‘of tho builders of the Destroyer, ictifiad Captain Selfringe and Commanders Phythian and Crown- inshield, the board appointed to exam- ine the tests. At 8 o'clock the signal was given and the gun wes fired. There was but a slight report, and all that could be noticed from the outside was a trifling disturbance of the waters under the bow of the vessel. Almost instant- ly the portion of the target which was projectile, wo den log fifteen feet long, leaned from the water some tree bundred yards beyond the playing under the bow of a ship at sea. From this point it rieochetted along the surface of the | water for some two hundred yards | The target having been raised it was found that the netting had been pierced almost exactly in the center and about five feet under water. The officers pro- nounced this trial eminently saccessful and ordered another for this morcing | at 9 o'clock, Tle Destroyer is sun iron { boat with hull almost entirely sub- | merged. Upon this hull, placed well : aft, is a deck-house of sheet iron. The {hull is 130 feetlong, twelve feet wide | and eleven feet deep. Bho is a double- ; ender and is propelled by an engine of { 1,000 korse-power. The s'eering ap- | paratus and the torpedo gnun—in fact all of her effective appointmentis—are qelow the water level. The armament consists of a single gun placed just | above the keelson in the forward part of the boat, its muzzle opening direct. | ly into the water, which is excluded | from it by a permanent valve hung by an elbow joiut to the stem and opened or closed by a piston operated at the breech of the gun. When the gun is to be fired the valve is raised out of the path of the projectile and its place is taken by a temporary valve of wood and rubber cloth, which fits the muzzle { tightly and is placed in+the gun after | it is loaded. This is shattered when | the gun is fired. As the projectile | leaves the muzzle the permanent valve again comes in position, the little water | that rushes in rans through the breech | to the bilge «nd is pumped out by a | steam siphon. The torpedo which it is | proposed to use in actnal warfare is a chamber of iron or copper, large | enough to contain 349 pounds of dyna- | mite, and it is claimed that against this | little vessel tho most powerful iron- clads will be helpless, as the snbmerged | ! gun will penetrate them beneath their | | armor, and her great speed and facility | j of maneuveritg wonld enable her to {get in her work among a fleet of big | ships almost at will and with entire | safety. ” ee —————es There are iu Persia shout 40,000 Jews.
